Sleepless in Fahrenheit 99
First off - get a response for my blog yesterday that Vijay Singh aint an NRI -hm..always thot NRI was non resident indian..not non-resident indian in the U.S. -errata if NRI is only for non-resident americans :-) coz the guy is from Fiji..
anyways..am up waiting for a particular american airlines flight to land. up watching, of all things in the world, a mush movie (the bleching may commence)..normally dont - am stubbornly attached to three loyalty-driven favorites.Meg Ryan being the common thread -and rightly so, yada yada yada..anyywayss…am making a list of top movies to watch in each genre .so i can collect the DVD's as i pass along my life (btw..did you know bill gates scoffs at DVD's -smtg he thinks will be archaic in a few years..sheesh.i will be holding onto vintage stuff 10 years from now?)..here's my top list for mush movies - highly recommended to all who wait for flights to land - whether in it or outside it..
When harry met sally You've got mail Sleepless in Seattle pretty woman runaway bride Forget paris love actually love story it happened one night
Also, since i know there are guys who like atleast some of it just as much, can remain content in the fact that i do not subscribe to the 'chick flick' channel :-) nothing against it, just that its a weird phrase for a weird genre..its a crazy combination of teen-movies plus the cliched romantic movies that adults watch..i mean, why wouldnt you call 'the terminal' a chick flick? coz tom hanks doesnt act in one? or coz the director is a serious fella? what exactly, defines, i ask, a chick flick? the fact that guys go 'boo'? or that it doesnt require thinking? coz if its the latter, then shouldnt 'dude wherez my car' be a chick flick? or even the recentest james bond movie?if not, what are those movies then called? and again, what exactly defines a chick flick?(pssst- this is where you whisper 'stop!' before you lose your reader to boredom)
In other news..apparently researchers figured that short kids dont usually have a problem with self-esteem..took them 15 years since they declared that short kids DO have problems in life to figure that out.what IS the deal with researchers anyway?if i take 100 kids from,lets say, my school where tall is cool and then go ahead and take 100 kids from a mumbai school where kids are so many and so crunched up that one cant distinguish the height, what gives?
Ooh..herez an interesting one..Michael Moore wants his movie to be nominated for best movie award- good idea methinks..his wave of publicity needed that perk..shucks, folks had almost forgotten him what with olympics and florida hurricanes..not particularly fond of his choice of controversy raking, but i do think its right that he enter into the 'best picture' category -even if it seems to be a plot to get more popular. Fahrenheit 9/11, in its message atleast aint a documentary- its an interpretation of events..and interpretations should NOT be in the category of 'best documentary'.just as 'Da Vinci code' wouldnt be if made into a movie. in anycase, this act of his provides fuel to be in the limelite again when his movie is or isnt the winner.
Hm, just noticed..some folks take veeru from sholay just a mite too seriously- one suicide every 40 seconds,didjaknow? its kinda depressing y'kno..a person commits suicide to escape the world and suchlike - what if they discovered that a) the other world aint any more fun or b) they find themselves back in the world, heck! xcept they are ghosts now..grass aint always greener on the other side guys!
Fahrenheit 99 degrees today,
